Does anyone have information on John Ruffin born Darlington SC married Rachel? He is noted on the l820 Darlington SC census and then on the l830 Lawrence Co MS census. One of his sons was Elijah Ruffin born l8l2 in SC married Nancy? Elijah resided in Caldwell Co LA. His children were C. L. Ruffin, Mary Ruffin, Angie M. Ruffin, Emily J. Ruffin and W. Moses Ruffin. Any information on John Ruffin would be appreciated. Pat Berry

I would appreciate anyone some assistance in finding the final resting place for Elijah and Nancy Ruffin. They Moved to Caldwell Parish from South Carolina. My latest information is a Land Patent dated November 10, 1874. Judging from Census Information he would have been 61 years old at that time and Nancy 59. Since that property was locted in vixen It's possible they could be burried near there.
I would also like information on daughters Mary and Angie, and son Moses.
